Basically I have an opportunity to buy my girlfriend’s brother’s 1991 240sx which is in very good cosmetic shape but is having some problems starting. Unfortunately the car is an automatic, if i were to get this i would most definitely want to convert it to a manual. I’ve always been a Honda guy so i know virtually nothing about working on these and I’m just wondering if this is feasible conversion for someone who’s never worked on a 240sx before. Thanks! ---

Its not a hard swap provided you have all the parts needed. ---

drill one hole and rewire 2 wires, the rest is mechanical and straightforward as long as you have all the parts. (besides pulling out the auto pilot bushing, never again) ---

Thanks for the advice so far! Now what about a complete swap, like to an SR20 or RB20? I’m curious because i know how easy many swaps are on Honda’s but wonder if this would be doable with my lack of knowledge with nissans. ---

they are pretty easy if u can do wiring. sr is almost direct bolt in, rb is a lil more work, u the net u will find the info oh a lil trick for the neutral safety switch wiring is the 2 thickest wires are the ones u need to splice in 2 make it work. ---

dont worry about switching to the manual ecu either, with the auto ecu and manual trans. you won’t have a top speed limiter. ---

> [@nismotune](#): > > dont worry about switching to the manual ecu either, with the auto ecu and manual trans. you won’t have a top speed limiter. cut the green wire with yellow stripe to remove it too. #42 I think?(its been a looooong time, lol) ---

> [@travisn](#): > > cut the green wire with yellow stripe to remove it too. #42 I think?(its been a looooong time, lol) its easier just to not switch ecu’s, plus thats just an added cost. no need for a manual ecu ---
